If you are like me, sometimes you make a card that you struggled with, but that you are really proud of. Well, this is one of those cards. You see, I've always had difficulty putting lots of different pattern papers together (even from the same collection) and have always fretted that it was too much, or that the design looked overloaded. However, for this one, I literally forced myself to get on with it, and I'm so pleased I did as I love the result! :o)

I followed the sketch for this weeks challenge over on The Sugar Bowl. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any doodling in, not because it scares me (!), but because it didn't really fit the style of my card. Hope my entry still counts!

This is beautiful Stacey. I love the combination of papers you've used. I too like you struggle to use lots of different patterned papers on the same card! Hope you have a lovely afternoon with Ali's family!Hugs, Vicky ~x~

I can totally see why you love this card, it's just gorgeous! Those papers are really pretty and work well together. Daisy has been beautifully coloured, you should start giving lessons! ;0PHope you've had a good day.xx :0)

This is precious. Your coloring is amazing. I just love your blog. So inspirational. It's so good to be blog hopping again, hopefully I will actually start creating again. Such a pleasure visiting. TFS

I have been crafting since the start of 2008. I love making cards, but also enjoy whipping up a storm with my sewing machine or a pair of knitting needles!
I've had a little bit of a crafting break over the past couple of years, mainly due to my ridiculously demanding day-job. However, I miss crafting so much that I'm determined to make more time for my hobby!
